Barcelona are not predicted to do any business in the January transfer window, but despite their thin squad, an exit seems more likely than an addition. Eric Garcia, Ansu Fati and Pablo Torre have all been tipped as potential exits, but now Andreas Christensen has also been mooted.
Christensen has been out since the first game of the season due to an Achilles tendon problem, but will return to action in January after a five-month absence. According to Italian reporter Alfredo Pedulla, as told by MD, Manchester United and Juventus are interested in signing Christensen on loan in January, especially the latter. The Bianconeri are without defenders Bremer and Juan Cabal for a long time and want to strengthen their defensive ranks.
The Blaugrana would still have Garcia, Inigo Martinez, Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo for the second half of the season if they let Christensen go. Incidentally, it has been reported that they are keen to sell him this summer, but the Danish defender has so far remained adamant that he is not going anywhere. Given that Hansi Flick could use one of Garcia or Christensen in midfield in the second half of the season, that could make Barcelona reluctant to let him go in January.
